Does your cat grab you?

[sirocco]

Neelix grabs you all the time!!! When playing mostly - he bites (not hard) and grasps you... But he also grasps my arm with his paws and bites me very very smoothly when I'm caressing him and I LOVE it - I find it soooo tender (it's not cute though) it's just his way to show you he cares - very physically and also so affectionate in his own way.... It makes my heart melt!!! When he finally releases my hand he licks it!! He's 2 years old but when he acts that way he seems a little kitten to me - well, I just love him dearly!

Hello

Yes, my Joey would do the same thing, it was a kitten thing. Now he doen't do that anymore. As I would be walking and he would be under the bed, he would grab at my leg. I thought it was funny, I guess he wanted to play with my legs because he was only a kitten and he had no other playmates to play with.

My parents cat used to climb my legs. It was scary. The furry fury could claw her way up your leg in a matter of seconds. Yikes!

Just noticed this thread and couldn't resist it. Stump (who will be 14 this summer) is the "Phantom Grabber" of my household. He will sneak up behind me (usually when I get up in the morning and am heading for the bathroom ) and will grab my leg and then give me a little kitty bite. Since he's about 12 pounds, it's quite an impact--usually results in a little bruise and fang marks but no big deal. We've made it into a game...when he does this, I turn around and say "coming to get you Stump!" He then starts rolling on the floor and occasionally flipping, which he doesn't do as much now that he's a senior cat. It's a nice reminder that he's still playful and happy!

Hey, Heather, thanks for starting this topic!! Looks like lots of us can relate!
